REVISE YOUNG PLAN, GERMAN CHIEFS DEMAND Nation ‘at End of Rope,’ Important Manifesto Makes Clear. B YFREDERICK HUH United Press Staff Correspondent BERLIN. June 6. —The governments first official pronouncement that the Young plan must be revised was issued today. A manifesto, supplementing President Paul Van Hindenburg’s dictatorial decree drastically reducing government expenditures, declared that the reparations no longer can be paid out of foreign loans, as heretofore. The presidential decree provided that the Reich's railways finance a gigantic project calling for the expenditure of about 550.000.c00. It was estimated that this would help relieve unemployment, providing Jobs for 120,000 persons. Will Aid Unemployment The government, In a broad move to counteract the sharp’salary reductions provided for in the decree, will introduce a 44-hour week In all its own workshops in the railways. This was expected to offer employment to thousands. Power to impose a 40-hour week In private industrial concerns also was provided in the momentous "decree. However, it is understood the President does not intend to use this power at present. The manifesto, regarded as one of the most vital documents issued since the close of the World war, pleaded for reduction of the reparations payments. “We Have Done Utmost” “We have done our utmost to meet the obligations arising from the lost war,” said one passage. "To this end, we also took extensive advantage of foreign help. “This no longer is posisble. Harnessing all our forces and reserves of the entire population gives the German government the right and obliges it to proclaim to the world ‘the limit of the privations we can Impose on our people has been reached’.” The manifesto said the benefits which the Young plan, signed in May a year ago. had been expected to bring Germany had “failed to materialize.” “Commands Imperative Relief” “The assumptions on which the Young plan was created have proved false, owing to world developments,” it said. “The alleviations which the Young plan intended and promised to bring to the German people have failed to materialize. "The government now is aware that the extremely menaced eco- j nomic and financial position of the Reich imperatively commands re- I lief for Germanv from the intoler- ! able reparations burdens. The! world’s economic recovery also de- j pends on this relief.” The manifesto was signed only by the ministry headed by Chancellor ! Heinrich Bruening. It was issued supplementing President Von Hindenburg’s decree, but was not issued jointly with the chief executive's document. Workers Are Affected Workers and middle class families were chiefly affected by the dicta- j t.orial decree enforcing new government economies in an effort to meet an ticipated deficit in the budget. The decree tended to shield big employers and others of wealth, chiefly because the government is eager to prevent an outpouring capital from the country.

Plead With England By United Press LONDON, June 6.—A plea for revision of the Young plan for reparations payments was anticipated as the Ahglo-German conversations opened at Chequers today. Chancellor Heinrich Bruening of Germany and Dr. Julius Curtius. his foreign minister, presented their case in an effort to convince Premier J. Ramsay MacDonald and Arthur Hendeson, foreign secretary, that a reduction in reparations payments is "desperately nccesary” to the economic and political stability of Germany. “Radicalism is growing in Germany,” Chancellor Bruening said on arrival from Berlin. “It is not possible for us to solve our economic troubles single-handed. The solution will require the friendly co-operation of the entire world.” HIGHER El fION IS NEW „ . BUSINESS’ Statistics Cited to Show Educational Schools Most Popular of All. By United Press KANSAS CITY, Mo., June 6. Higher education was termed big busmess in the newest and most vital phase by Dr. E. H. Lindley chancellor of the University of Kansas, in a dressing 400 professional men here.

It's “as easy as falling off a log” to use this nifty new “armchair parachute" for passengers in cabin airplanes.

AL SMITH MAY BE ’POWER' IN PRESIDENT RACE Single Word May Decide Democrat Candidate for White House. BY RAYMOND CLAPPER United Press Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON, June 6.—Republican’s virtually are confident their opponent in the presidential campaign next year will be Governor Franklin D. Roosevelt, New York. Democrats, on the other hand, are more in doubt. Roosevelt appears the most conspicuous candidate at the moment, but the line o frival candidates is beginning to form on the right. Senator James Hamilton Lewis of Illinois, the most resplendent figure, sartorially and rhetorically, in public life, has been indorsed as the favorite son of Illinois by Mayor Cermak’s powerful organization in Chicago. Governor Albert C. Ritchie of Maryland has the indorsement of the Maryland legislature, and his friends are at work in other states. He stepped aside for Alfred E. Smith in 1928, but this year he intends to stay in. Robinson Is Contender Both Ritchie and Lewis are for repeal of the elghtenth amendment, as is Roosevelt. In addition, Senator Joseph T. 1 Robinson of Arkansas, vice-presi-dential candidate with Smith three years ago, i$ expected to be an earnest contender. Governor Harry F. Byrd of Virginia may be the favorite son of his state. His main object is to prevent a prohibition repeal plank in the next national platform. Byrd Led in Rebellion He was one of the leaders in the rebellion at the Democratic national committee meeting here last spring, when Chairman John J. Rsiskob was challenged openly in his attempt to put the committee on the anti-prohibition side. Ohio has several possibilities —Governor George White, former Governor James M. Cox, presidential candidate in 1920, and Newton D. Baker, former secretary of war. Baker is most talked of nationally of the three, though Cox made a strong impression when he pleaded for harmony betwen northern anti-prohibitionists and southern drys at the recent Democratic national committee meeting. But towering in the background as the figures upon whom much Democratic history will depend are former Governor Alfred E. Smith and Owen D. Young. Smith Is Big Factor Having drawn the largest vote any Democrat ever received, Smith, though now a man of large business affairs and ostensibly out of politics, remains a factor for the simple reason that tremendous numbers of persons will do what he advises. If he want to run, himself, he will have the instant support of powerful groups and leaders. If he recommends Roosevelt that will throw a tremendous strength to the Governor. Smith smiles mysteriously when asked about his plans. OWen D. Young is another unknown quantity. He has the respect and confidence of many influential persons in the Democratic party, among business men generally, and his position as chairman of the board of General Electric makes him one of the powerful Morgan hierarchy, which is both an asset and a liability in politics. * \ WAR MOTHERS WILL TOUR BATTLEFIELDS I U.

Six Beauties of Talkieland—No. 3 THOSE EYES, THOSE LIPS-! Hard to Beat This Pair for Beauty

Hhere is the third of four stories on “The Six Most Beautiful Women of the Talkies,” selected for The Times and NEA SerTic* by six famous Hollywood directors. BY DAN THOMAS NEA Service Writer T TOLLYWOOD, June 6.—Just a few years ago a young and lovely Mexican girl arrived in Hollywood to embark on a film career. Fifteen years ago, or thereabouts, a vivacious Mack Sennett bathing beauty was just getting her start in the movies. Today, in a strange combination of youth and experience, these two famous actresses are among the choices of six noted directors as “The Six Most Beautiful Women of the Talkies.” Each is given equal honor. Os course, you already have guessed the name of the first one —Dolores Del Rio. And now I shall tell you the name of the second —Gloria Swanson. Del Rio and Swanson now join Marlene Dietrich and Frances Dee as the screen’s most beautiful women in the estimation of the six movie directors who are acting as judges for NEA Service and The Times. They are Mack Sennett, Josef von Sternberg, George Fitzmaurice, Mervyn Leßoy, Edward Sutherland and Allan Dwan. Monday the names of the two remaining beauties, will be revealed. tt tt tt ■pvOLORES’ entrance into pictures was one of the most interesting ever made by a screen newcomer. Brought up in exclusive circles in Mexico City, she received her first film offer from Edwin Carewe when he and his wife, Mary Akin, and Bert Lytell and Claire Windsor went to the Mexican capital to participate in a double marriage. But Dolores’ parents had heard about “wild”’ Hollywood and would not permit her to come here until after her husband, Jaime Del Rio, visited here and decided that the town would be safe for her. That perhaps was a bad report for Jaime to make as it was the beginning of the end of their marital happiness. Dolores soared quickly to stardom and then divorced Jaime. Now she is married again, this time to Cedric Gibbons, fashion expert at the M-G-M studios. u tt tt THE Mexican beauty’s career has been anything but a smooth one. Her success after arriving in Hollywood was almost instantaneous. Eut the tumble from the pedestal upon which she had been placed was almost as rapid. Dolores’ trouble was too much of the same thing. The same type of pictures which carried her to the top also carried her back down again. Her, productions ceased to make money. Then she beeline seriously ill and was forced to retire for nearly a year. In good health again now, however, and more beautiful than ever, Dolores is starting her comeback. a a tt AND now for Gloria Swanson. It seems rather needless to describe Miss Swanson’s beauty. For the last fifteen years her face and figure have been seen by millions of movie fans. Back in the days when she and the movies were much younger the glorious Gloria blossomed forth as a Mack Sennett bathing beauty. With her were numerous other girls just getting their start in pictures. Many made good—but none could quite maintain the pace set by their leader. With the exception of Charlie Chaplin, no other player from the old Sennett lot ever achieved and held the fame that is Gloria's. With all her beauty, Gloria has a good business head. There was a time when she was the highest salaried player in motion pictures. Then she made the one mistake of her career. Her contract with Paramount was expiring. Executives offered her anew one calling

ARMY AIR CHIEF JUBILANT OVER SKY MANEUVERS Success of Flying Fleet Brings Summary of Accomplishments. BY JOSEPH H. BAIRD Tnited Pres* Staff Correspondent i WASHINGTON. June 6. ' ( army air corps’ ability to hai thousands of men and smoothly and effectively * . meeting a national emergency was demonstrated fully by the air maneuvers just ended. F. Trubee Davison, assistant secretary of war. said today. This answer was the army’s quest when it assembled 672 trim fighters, bombers and observation planes—a force of unprecedented size—along the eastern seaboard during the last two weeks of May. Summarizes Accomplishments “Our success,” Davison explained, “was due to perfect discipline, intensive training of personnel and soundness of equipment. And by equipment, I mean not only airplanes. but radios, supply trucks and all the mechanical paraphernalia required by a large air force in action.” The assistant secretary' for aeronautics. who conceived the maneuvers and lavished months of time and limitless energy' in planning them, summarized their acomplishments as follows: They demonstrated that the handling of a large air force primarily is a problem of command and supply. The army found it could solve it. Illustrated New Advantages They showed beyond aoubt that commercial air fields can be used by the air corps in emergencies, and that exclusively military fields are not needed, except for training and quarters. They illustrated the advanatges of newly-developed mechanical contrivances, such as airplane brakes, which enabled large forces to land safely and execute ground maneuvers in a small space. Jubilant over the air corps’ record of flying 3.500,000 miles without a single serious accident, Davison pointed to this as a “marvelous accomplishment.”
